A friend with a new baby asked guests to mask in order to hold her baby. A relative refused to mask & broke down in tears about her "restrictions" As a reminder, babies <6 months have the 2nd highest hospitalization rate from Covid after adults 75+ & are too young to be vaxxed

She doesn’t even try to hide that she’s a spokesperson for Putin serving in the US Congress. Post after post, day after day, echoing Russian propaganda. Truly sad that people in Pinellas County have chosen this as their representation.

He asks her with peak cluelessness: “Strategically… was October 7 a bad move?” Like he just discovered what “politics” means yesterday. She gives him a brain-melting slap of reality: “You’re asking me to speak on a level far above your intellectual capacity. When you cage a population for 17 years

Why russia cannot help but invade? Been pondering this question for a decade now... 🇷🇺 didn’t “return” to dictatorship under POO-tihn. It never left. Rusich is crowdsourcing war crimes, Navalnaya is asking 🇪🇺 to fix 🇷🇺 for russians, and I try to make sense of it all kyivindependent.com/why-russia-c...

The Kremlin disguised a nearly $100 mn payment to Trump in the form of a brokered real estate deal... and both Jeffrey Epstein and William Pulte were involved in the deal. That's very interesting.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

NO LIES DETECTED........

In case anyone forgot… The POTUS is a sexual predator & Republicans in Congress are covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. It ain’t gonna go away!

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

The Trump administration can't deny the facts—ICE is using racial profiling to violently arrest American citizens.

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

I would rather feed 100 people who "didn't need it" if it meant 1 person who did need it got fed as well. They would rather let 100 who need it starve if it means even 1 can't "cheat the system". Republican boot lickers y’all will find out licking the boot doesn’t keep it off your throat.

The speech has been available in many media formats since the 1980s.

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children. We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards. Call your reps 202-224-3121

Another simple solution: Ban "A.i."

I wrote about the stupid ballroom: www.elizabethspiers.com/donald-trump...

Judge Ellis ordered USBP Chief Bovino to personally report to her every day at 6 PM until a Nov. 5th hearing. She also demanded he compile a full list of all use-of-force incidents and hand over all body cam footage. The judge also ordered that he get a body cam and be trained on its use by Friday.

Food bank director, Jill Dixon explains that for every meal a food bank provides the SNAP program provides nine. If Republicans don’t negotiate with Democrats to keep SNAP benefits going after the Nov 1 deadline, Americans are going to starve. This is just cruel and vile ‼️

On Threads, the AP promoted this story with the caption: “Anti-abortion pregnancy centers offer much more than free ultrasounds and diapers. Here's why they're expanding as Planned Parenthood clinics close.” Do better @apnews.com

Popok: Letitia James appeared in court today in Virginia, and she's already filed multiple motions against the DOJ, Trump, and Lindsey Halligan. The first motion is a motion to dismiss because Lindsey Halligan has been improperly, illegally appointed to be the U.S. attorney.

ICYMI — @govpritzker.illinois.gov just went on Fox and told them Trump is planning to steal the next election (that’s what the troops are really about), and said ICE is not going after “the worst of the worst” they’re “going after black and brown people because of the color of their skin”

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work. So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

SCOOP: more than a third of new recruits at the ICE training academy have failed the personal fitness test -- so many that the agency has had to start pre-screening new hires to weed out what one official called "athletically allergic candidates" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Warren: The only movement these Republicans can manage is bowing down to Trump. When you ask them about today, they claim the No Kings Rally is anti-American. They’re wrong. Hundreds of thousands of people protesting peacefully for what they believe in—that is deeply American. That is patriotism.

“I don’t care about black or white, the only color that matters is red, the blood of Jesus Christ!” White Christians have said the following to me: “I don’t think Black people experience racism.” “What is Black culture? Fried chicken?” “God allowed slavery to give Black people a better life.”

She called it. The media blew it by letting a serial liar off the hook

To be absolutely clear on what just happened here, Trump ousted this veteran career prosecutor *precisely because* he would *not* cook the facts to bring a corrupt prosecution against one of Trump's leading enemies. To Trump, refusing to prosecute his foes for fake crimes is a firing offense.

Alex Acosta remains defiant defending his decision not to prosecute Epstein. He “essentially said he didn’t have faith in the victims, their stories and their ability to tell their own story and their own testimony, which is deeply disturbing to all of us sitting in there,” said Rep. Maxwell Frost.
